Industry Institution Cell (IIC)

MEI Polytechnic has been a pioneer in implementing the concept of Industrial Attachment Programme (IAP) for over two decades. Through IAP, students are placed in relevant industries during vacations, allowing them to gain practical experience and exposure to real-world industrial environments.

This initiative has evolved into a structured and impactful program under the Industry Institution Cell (IIC), which further strengthens collaboration between academia and industry to enhance student learning and employability.

Key Objectives and Activities of the Industry Institution Cell (IIC):

  • Signing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with industries for in-plant training opportunities.
  • Providing technical support and mentoring for student project work in collaboration with industry.
  • Coordinating campus interviews and placement drives for graduating students.
  • Arranging industrial visits to expose students to practical working environments and processes.
  • Organizing guest lectures by industry experts and alumni to bridge knowledge gaps.
  • Facilitating entrepreneurship development activities and start-up support.
  • Encouraging student participation in technical fairs and organizing exhibitions.
  • Enabling faculty upskilling through industrial training in latest technologies and tools.

The IIC at MEI Polytechnic continues to play a crucial role in preparing students for successful careers by bridging the gap between classroom learning and industrial practices.

MoUs signed between various Industries and MEI Polytechnic are as below.

Youth Red Cross

Centenary Year Celebration of Indian Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement

100 years of Minimizing, Alleviating and Preventing Human Suffering (1920 – 2020)

A Brief Report of Youth Red Cross Unit

The Red Cross Society is a worldwide, well-known, universally accepted, admired, and internationally identified humanitarian service organization. It is the largest independent, non-religious, non-political, non-sectarian, and voluntary relief organization treating people equally across the globe without any discrimination as to nationality, race, or religious belief.

Established in 1863 in Geneva, Switzerland, the Red Cross movement was founded by Jean Henry Dunant, who was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.

The seven fundamental principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement—Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality—form the ethical, operational, and institutional framework of its work.

The motto of Red Cross is: “With Humanity, Towards Peace”

2020 is Here…!

Let us unite to celebrate and respect the contribution made by the volunteers to the welfare of humanity.

The objective of conducting any program or activity under IRCS-KSB/YRC at the college level is to provide career guidance and develop skills for students and volunteers to enhance their overall personality. These workshops and activities aim to provide deeper insights and foster critical thinking among today’s youth.

Activities Undertaken by Our Volunteers This Year:

  • First Aid training and awareness sessions
  • Blood donation camps
  • Health and hygiene awareness programs
  • Community service and outreach activities
  • Disaster response training
